Mechanical Characterization of the Erythrocyte Membrane Using a Capacitor-Based Technique

Mechanical Characterization of the Erythrocyte Membrane Using a Capacitor-Based Technique

Pathological processes often change the mechanical properties of cells. Increased rigidity could be a marker of cellular malfunction. Erythrocytes are a type of cell that deforms to squeeze through tiny capillaries; changes in their rigidity can dramatically affect their functionality. Furthermore,...
